Irish/Texas Night in McKinney




Two of the 5 Ireland mission teams met with Alan and Rosemary last night. It was pot luck dinner with a Texas theme, so "Mexican" dishes were everywhere! :) Everyone was chattering with excitement. They shared a combined result from the summer of over 1000 homes receiving a one-on-one contact. The Irish/Texas night that our team participated in is still being talked about by the locals, and it set the stage for a full gospel concert later in the summer in 2 locations with 180 attending one and over 300 the other. We were all praising the Lord together and giving Him the Glory!!

This week marks the 135th anniversary of our church. We are thankful that there continues to be VISION for the future! "If people can't see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves; but when they attend to what He reveals, they are most blessed." Prov 29:18 Msg http://www.fbcmckinney.com/

We were privileged in our service this morning to hear briefly from a former Muslim who came to know Christ in 1991. He is now ministering in Baghdad. What you will NOT hear on the news is that prior to the war there was ONE evangelical church in the city. Now there are 17 in Baghdad alone! The smallest has 200 attending, the largest has 2000! Only GOD!!

Work is going so well this year. There are 10 of us teachers who are committed to meeting early each Tuesday morning for a devotional and prayer time. No doubt, God is working!! We believe that acknowledging God is the key, thus our name - TAG, Teachers Acknowledging God!
